Google quietly launches Google Tasks

Google Tasks
Update: Well that didn't take long. Apparently Google really hadn't meant to unleash this service on the public just yet, because the URL no longer works.

Google has, without any fanfare, apparently launched an online task manager application cleverly called Google Tasks. This appears to be a more fleshed out version of the Gmail Tasks widget that showed up in Gmail Labs a few months ago. And the services are linked. If you create a task in one application, it will show up in the other. In fact, it's possible that Google Tasks is little more than the backend for the Gmail Tasks widget, but it does offer a decent way to create and manage tasks from one location.

You can nest tasks within one another, and add notes to any task. You can also set due dates and check off tasks when they're completed. Users can create, edit, and delete multiple task lists. But only the default list will be shared with your Gmail account.
